Domo Arigato: Matthew @ Number 5 Type Collection

This morning, I arrived at work and discovered a big white envelope inside of my mailbox. Matthew over at Number 5 Type Collectionshipped a bunch of baseball cards to my school.

Last week he held a Spring Training Giveaway and I was fortunate enough to get two teams: San Francisco Giants (for my students) & San Diego Padres (for my collection).

Here's a snapshot at what I received:

San Francisco Giants

San Diego Padres

I was really stoked to find this Swinging Friar card in the stack. Usually I buy specific singles, instead of packs and boxes... so these cool lower end cards don't usually make their way into my collection.

Thanks Matthew... both my students and I really appreciate your generosity.

Hey Padres Zombie... just shot you an email and the card you're referring to is #369 from the 2008 Upper Deck baseball set. Best of luck on grabbing that card. You might want to check out Sportlots or Check Out My Cards.

About Me

I've been collecting cardboard off and on since the early 80's. I'm presently collecting. But who knows what the future holds in store for me.
One thing is for certain... I'll have my blog to help relive some of my favorite hobby moments.
